Hello! Welcome to the Fountains of Silence by bloc tour. I’m very excited to host and show you a mood board of what the book meant to me. Below you’ll sees mirage of images that I felt directly resembled (and caught the essence of) this beautifully written novel. I can't comment enough on how spectacular I thought the story was. That it was able to make me feel as if I was in 1950s Spain. Sepetys was brilliantly able to evoke the struggles and emotion felt by many people living from that time. I hope that you'll take some time out of your busy lives, and find a way to read this book!
About the Book
Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into Spain under the welcoming guise of sunshine and wine. Among them is eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson, the son of a Texas oil tycoon, who arrives in Madrid with his parents hoping to connect with the country of his mother's birth through the lens of his camera. Photography--and fate--introduce him to Ana, whose family's interweaving obstacles reveal the lingering grasp of the Spanish Civil War--as well as chilling definitions of fortune and fear. Daniel's photographs leave him with uncomfortable questions amidst shadows of danger. He is backed into a corner of decisions to protect those he loves. Lives and hearts collide, revealing an incredibly dark side to the sunny Spanish city.
Master storyteller Ruta Sepetys once again shines light into one of history's darkest corners in this epic, heart-wrenching novel about identity, unforgettable love, repercussions of war, and the hidden violence of silence--inspired by the true post-war struggles of Spain.
